Gary Betts of Sweet Home has been chosen Logger of the Year — for the second time — by the Associated Oregon Loggers.
Betts, 58, was honored at the 36th annual AOL convention in Eugene last month.
The award is given to a logger who has “demonstrated exemplary performance in the logging industry” and who has contributed substantial amounts of time to the industry and to his community, said Jim Geisinger, AOL executive vice president.
